This is awesome news!!  I literally just said in another post that this is what they should focus on.

I am very excited for a new map! I believe at the moment there are only 5. I hope if it is multi-tiered, some of the levels are accessible to mechs other than lancer, as there is only one jumping bot in the game right now. 

I know this is pushing it, but I would love to see a map with some interaction. For example, pools of lava scattered around that do damage if you are in them too long. It would be awesome for them to have random explosives laying around that you could shoot and detonate to damage other mechs. Other tiny changes like this would make the game a lot more fun but probably take some work. 

I'm not complaining, just dreaming. :)

So the map is a sky fortress with limited capture points to promote heavy fighting.  The first photo clearly shows an open air area with crates but the second and third photos appear to be below ground.  Looks like it might be a multi-level map.
